Dispensationalism
Dispensationalism
Section titled “Dispensationalism”Aliases: dispensational premillennialism, Christian Zionism prophecy, promise becomes plan, rapture politics.
Fast answer: In Jiang Lens, dispensationalism matters because it turns Christian end-times promise into a plan believers can help fulfill. Israel, temple, Antichrist, war, and Jesus’s return become operational conditions rather than distant symbols.
What Jiang Means
Section titled “What Jiang Means”Jiang contrasts historic premillennialism, which waits for Jesus to return, with dispensational premillennialism, which treats prophecy as a sequence believers can help bring about. That shift is the dangerous grammar: promise becomes plan.
The term should stay narrow. Jiang is not describing all Christians. He is identifying an organized eschatological minority whose political energy can matter because it treats conflict, statehood, temple, and enemy roles as required steps.
